In 2018, the share of newly registered possible victims of human trafficking in the Netherlands were exploited for sexual services. Close to 75 percent of all people registered by CoMensha in 2018 were victims of sexual exploitation, this marked an increase of ten percent compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the number of possible trafficking victims who were victims of labour exploitation decreased slightly, by around five percent.
Distribution of victims of human trafficking registered in the Netherlands from 2017 to 2018, by sector*
* CoMensha (the National Coordination Centre against Human Trafficking) provides information about the extent and nature of human trafficking in the Netherlands through registration of (potential) victims of trafficking. In addition, CoMensha provides policy advice and training and runs a national helpdesk.
The source adds the following notes:
A victim can be exploited in multiple sectors. In that case all the relevant sectors are counted. Hence the number of sectors is higher than the number of victims.
CoMensha provides an insight into the nature and extent of human trafficking and registers possible victims of human trafficking. The reason the term 'possible' victims is used is that in a chain approach there is no definitive set of criteria that a person must fulfill in order to be a 'real' victim of trafficking.
The figures concern the newly registered possible victims of human trafficking.
